bothering good knew literally tonight
I knew his back was bothering him a little bit, but tonight he didn't feel like it was good enough to go. It was literally right before the game.
line people
It's not even a question. If he's not an All-Star they better line people up for some kind of testing. He's got all of the requirements.
best game guy hurt playing screens shutting
That hurt us obviously, because at the end of the game he would have been the guy playing the pick-and-roll at the top. He's our best guy at getting over screens and shutting that down.
catching corner moving
I'm not catching it in a corner as much where I can't do as much. If I'm moving around and get it out on the floor, I can be more productive.
ball built felt game shortcuts taking
It was a game we felt we had to have. We built up a big lead, and then we let them back in the ball game. We started taking shortcuts in our execution. We had too many turnovers.
felt game playoff regards
It was a game we felt we had to have, in regards to our playoff seeding.
defensive efforts great tremendous
It was a great two-game sweep. We got two tremendous defensive efforts from our guys.
bit detroit great healthy home hopefully liked run start stretch
It was a great trip. Obviously, we are a bit disappointed, we would have liked to play Detroit a bit better than what we did. Hopefully we can go home and all start getting healthy and make a stretch run for the playoffs.
board execute points tempo
They can put points on the board in a hurry, but at times they'll let you back into the game. You've got to execute and get a tempo and we did.
hand hot rode
We had the hot hand in (Brand) and we just rode it.
counts free hang knocks played shots solid
When it counts he knocks down the shots and makes his free throws. We had to hang on but we played a solid game.
slow zone
We had to get after it because (the Hornets) are so athletic. So, we went to a zone to slow them down.
ability addition best defender dimensions excellent great key last league looking player shooting solid team third
Cuttino is a great addition to our club. We were looking for a player that would add some key dimensions to our team that we were lacking. His 3-point shooting ability was third best in the league last season. He is a solid defender and excellent all-around player.
biggest brand elton time upsets
Elton Brand is a lock. It would be one of the biggest upsets of all time if he didn't make it.
